Top 50 Science Fiction TV Shows

pbaumgar writes "Boston.com is running an article discussing their top 50 Sci-Fi TV shows of all-time. What are some of your favorites?" From the article: "Number 10 -'Sliders. 'Sliders' should have been a widespread hit, but it was ahead of its time. The show was about a wiz-kid genius Quinn Mallory, played by Jerry O'Connell, and his band of three companions who slide among Earth's alternate realities. Toward the end of the series, the show quickly slid in quality as three of its stars - O'Connell, Sabrina Lloyd and John Rhys-Davies - departed and were replaced by others. A tragic demise to a fine show." They don't even give a nod to greatest-trek-of-all-time DS9, so I don't know about this list.

    Slashdot is not a place for a reasonable discussion of Sci-Fi shows. This might hurt someone's karma...

  2. They forgot the #1 Sci-Fi show! by dada21 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I watched it once, it was too alien to me.

    Synapsis: This head alien interrogates others like it regarding its numerous abuses by Man. Freaky episodes about the aliens' fashion, body morphing in their latter life stage, even discussions about how they can get their alien race to win the Presidency.

    Eerie.

    ..and they missed the best fantasy show of them all.

  5. Re:Star Trek DS9 Was truly superior by Seumas · · Score: 2, Funny

    The only good Star Trek was TNG - and that's only in comparison to the other Star Trek spinoffs. Otherwise, comparing Star Trek series is like comparing the color of different shits. Yes, there are slight differences, but they're all still steaming turds.

    Yeah. Don't the writers know that TV is about pure, accurate depictions of science? You'd think they were trying to entertain us or something! Stupid unenlightened TV writers!

    That's why I only watch PBS and listen to NPR -- so I can be safe from entertainment and news about regular people.
